I modified ColdSync so it is writing headers :

PalmUserid: xxxxxxx

PalmUsername: yyyyyyyy

to conduit stdin.

Then my conduits are able to use this info.

It is really easy, Andrew is quite right.

2 modification required - in conduit.c and coldsync.c:

condiut.c :

add this line at top level:

extern struct Palm *palm;              /* AT added this for conduit headers  20010406 */

 

then inside conduit.c:

after this fragment

        ++last_header;
        headers[last_header].name = "OutputDB";
        headers[last_header].value = (char *) bakfname;
                                /* The cast is just to stop the compiler
                                 * from complaining. */
add this:

        /* AT start added 20010406  */
        ++last_header;
        headers[last_header].name = "UserId";
        sprintf(headers[last_header].value,"%lu",palm_userid(palm));
       
        ++last_header;
        headers[last_header].name = "UserName";
        headers[last_header].value = (char *)palm_username(palm);
        /* AT end added 20010406 */

 

coldsync.c:

move this line
struct Palm *palm;              /* AT moved to top level from inside for conduit access  20010406 */
to top level

That's it.

I should use diff, but I did too many changes ( and I don't quite familiar with diff :-(
